An integer can be negative or positive, so if the integer is, let's say, -6. The opposite, or absolute value, of -6, is 6. So in this case, the opposite has more value than the actual integer. Does that answer the question? :D
Best of luck,

An integer is sometimes less than its opposite because the opposite of an integer is the additive inverse of that integer. When we say an integer is less than its opposite, we are comparing the magnitude of the two numbers, not their actual values. For example, -3 is less than 3 because -3 is closer to zero on the number line than 3.

Why cant a negative integer be greater than a positive integer?
By definition, a negative integer is any integer less than zero. Similarly, a positive integer is any integer greater than zero. It should be immediately obvious that an integer cannot be both less than and greater than zero. Therefore, a negative integer cannot be greater than a positive integer.
